Second win (23 races) was a Leicester classified last month; there are plenty of poor runs in his record but he followed that win with a creditable second of seven in handicap at Brighton (again coming from the rear over 6f on good to firm) ten days ago; considered.

A long way behind Bated Breeze over C&D a month ago but stronger in the market a week later, when winning a Leicester 0-50; always tended to be hit and miss and be interesting to see how he goes in the betting this time.

Went close in two early season maidens and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when beaten a short head at Cork a fortnight ago; has shown plenty of speed, so 5f will probably be fine and she sets a solid enough standard on form.
